We introduce a concise approach to teamwork evaluation on multiple levels -dealing with agent's behaviour spread and multi-agent coordination potential, and abstracting away the team decision process. The presented quantitative information-theoretic methods measure behavioural and epistemic entropy, and detect phase transitions -the edge of chaos -in team performance. The techniques clearly identify under-performing states, where a change in tactics may be warranted. This approach is a step
